Preaching | Rev. Dr. Layne Smith
Sermon | The Three Prodigals
Scripture | Luke 15:1-3, 11-32
This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Layne Smith preaches from Luke 15:1-3, 11-32 with a fresh look at a familiar story in his sermon, “The Three Prodigals.”
We often focus on the younger son, but all three figures in this parable—the younger son, the elder brother, and even the father—were wasteful in their own way. What does that say about grace, love, and the human heart?
Join us in person or online at Myers Park Baptist Church for a meaningful exploration of this powerful parable.
